Shipping Cost from San Jose to Madrid

Shipping furniture is expensive, typically costing $300 to over $1,000 for cross-country moves, varying greatly by size, weight, distance, and service, with small items like chairs sometimes costing $50-$200 via parcel, while large sofas can be $300-$1,500+ using LTL freight or specialized movers. Expect higher prices for long distances, heavy items, and white-glove services, but save money with disassembly or freight consolidation.

Furniture and possessions must 'conform to the social bearing' of the importer. Duty is levied on new goods, and fines may be imposed for failing to declare them. EU citizens should contact their shipping agent for information about an EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification number).
